Do You Want Happiness at the Expense of Others?

“A sure way to lose happiness, I found, is to want it at the expense of everything else.” ~Bette Davis

It seems like in today’s society when it comes to happiness we are in a no-win situation. If we choose our own happiness over others we tend to feel guilt and if we choose others happiness over our own we tend to feel resentment. It is hard to know what to do and how to decide what the right answer should be.

Perhaps the right answer is that we need to find happiness through helping others. This would definitely be a win-win proposition. What do you think?
